It depends on the lens. Assuming parallel rays entering the lens:

Convex lens - they converge,

Concave lens - they dinverge.

How does a lens bring diverging light rays to parallel tracks?

A lens brings diverging light rays to parallel tracks by refracting the light rays as they pass through the lens. The shape of the lens causes the light rays to converge and then diverge again, ultimately causing them to travel in parallel paths.


What piece of glass could be used to focus parallel rays to a small spot of light?

A concave lens, specifically a converging lens, can be used to focus parallel rays to a small spot of light. This type of lens causes the light rays to converge at a specific point, creating a focused spot of light.


How does light travel through concave and convex lens?

In a concave lens, light rays diverge after passing through the lens, causing image formation behind the lens. In a convex lens, light rays converge after passing through the lens, resulting in image formation on the opposite side of the lens. The specific path of light through these lenses is determined by the refraction of light rays at the surfaces of the lens.


How does light travel through a concave or convex lens?

In a concave lens, light rays diverge after passing through the lens, spreading out away from each other. In a convex lens, light rays converge after passing through the lens, coming together at a focal point.


How do light rays travel from the object to the image?

Light rays travel in a straight line from the object through the lens of the camera to create an inverted image on the camera sensor. The lens focuses the light rays to converge at a specific point, forming a sharp image. The camera sensor then captures this image by recording the intensity of light at each point.


What happens to light rays when they travel through concave lens?

When they are entering a concave lens they are refracted and bend away from each other.


What happens to light rays that travel parallel to optical axis as they pass through a convex lens?

The rays are diffracted toward the center of the lens. This is the principal used in reading and magnifying glasses.


Light rays travel in a straight line.?

Yes, light rays travel in a straight line in a homogeneous medium. This is known as rectilinear propagation of light. If the medium is not uniform, such as in the presence of a lens or when light undergoes refraction, the path of light may bend.


What kind of lens which diverges light rays?

Concave lens would diverge the rays.


What is the point where rays of light meet after being bent by a lens?

The point where rays of light converge after passing through a lens is called the focal point. It is the point where the light rays come together, either in front of (converging lens) or behind (diverging lens) the lens.


What lens causes light rays passing through it to diverge?

A concave lens causes light rays passing through it to diverge. This lens is thinner at the center than at the edges, causing the light rays to spread out.
